After a month, just when she thought she had given up on her fantasies about Shen Shi, she saw him again.
Didn't we say we should look forward, Xu Wanwan?
But why does seeing his affection for another woman still cause me such heartache that I can't breathe?
After Lu Yuning went upstairs, Shen Shi called over his assistant.
"Please, Mr. Shen," Qin Bochuan said, preparing to head to the winery.
But seeing Xu Wanwan standing there dumbfounded, he frowned in displeasure and urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!"
"Okay, Mr. Qin." Xu Wanwan quickly followed.
The four arrived at the winery that Qin Bochuan had mentioned. As soon as they entered, someone greeted them, "Mr. Qin, you've arrived."
Qin Bochuan nodded and instructed, "Bring me the wine I stored last time, and some of your local specialties as well."
The hostess led the group to a pavilion, where the surrounding trees and buildings were tastefully arranged, creating a pleasant scene.
Soon after, the wine and dishes were served.
Qin Bochuan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Shen Shi, saying, "President Shen, please have a taste."
After taking a small sip, Chen Shi commented, "Not bad, a collector's edition Romanée-Conti." He then raised his glass to Qin Bochuan across from him.
"Mr. Shen has excellent taste." Qin Bochuan was slightly surprised to see that Shen Shi had only taken a sip and mentioned the brand.
Sitting to the side, Xu Wanwan felt somewhat uneasy watching the two chatting happily.
"Why aren't you drinking?" Qin Bochuan noticed the wine glass in front of her and asked.
"I don't drink..." Xu Wanwan said softly.
"A little bit won't hurt," Qin Bochuan insisted. "It would be a shame not to try such good wine."
After hearing this, Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
However, the taste of the wine was too strong for her, and the burning sensation in her throat made her cough.
"Cough...President Qin, I...cough..." Xu Wanwan coughed so hard it was heartbreaking, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Hearing the commotion, a nearby waiter rushed over. "Miss, are you alright?"
Unexpectedly, she had such a low alcohol tolerance. Before Xu Wanwan could speak, Qin Bochuan said, "Could you please take her to rest and prepare some food?"
"Yes, sir." The waiter said to Xu Wanwan, "Miss, please follow me."
Qin Bochuan's thoughtful arrangement truly moved Xu Wanwan. "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I've troubled you again," she said with a guilty expression.
Qin Bochuan responded gentlemanly, "It's alright, go and rest first."
Xu Wanwan nodded gratefully, but couldn't help stealing a glance at Chen Shi as she left, hoping for some special reaction from him.
But Shen Shi, standing to the side, simply sipped his red wine quietly, looking completely detached and indifferent, as if he didn't know Xu Wanwan at all.
